Great work, John. I'm sure this will inspire lots of volunteers to step up
and volunteer to co-chair the event, plus it has the added advantage of
really motivating the safety stewards to donate their day to the cause.

John - like this has ever happened at one of our events (OK, I'm only
talking the last decade - my limited experience). But, of course, since we
have the Candlestick people hanging around I'm sure Bryan could arrange a
first-time occurrence for us.

Probable rookie safety steward for this event

slip hander-outer])
